Hello,

I'm making an application which will require a variety of data to be sent to and from a server, with multiple clients, none of which have port forwarding enabled, unlike the server.
At the moment, it seems that the only way to allow bidirectional data transfer is via ajax calls to the server using the HTTPListener class to act as a web server, however I'd like to use TCP.
Is this possible & is this the best way around it?

You only need to forward ports for the server. Properly designed client/server architectures do not require that you forward ports for your clients, only the server. The TCP/IP protocol allows bi-directional communication once a connection has been established.
